Dear colleagues,
We invite you to contribute to the session “22.6 Accessory phases and trace elements in metamorphic processes” for the upcoming International Geological Congress in Brisbane (Australia) from August 5-10. This promises to be one of the prime conferences in 2012;please notice a whole theme on metamorphic processes (http://www.34igc.org/scientific-themes-symposia.php#theme-22-metamorphic-rocks-and-processes).
Please notice that the abstract deadline (Feb 17) is approaching fast, so start submitting abstracts by following the link: http://www.34igc.org/submit-abstracts.php
Best regards, on behalf of the organizers,
Thomas Zack

Session description:
22.6 Accessory phases and trace elements in metamorphic processes
Daniela RUBATTO (Australia), Nigel KELLY (USA), Ian BUICK (South Africa), Simon HARLEY (UK) and Thomas ZACK (Germany)
Accessory minerals play a vital role in understanding metamorphic processes, as chronometers and thermometers, as sensors of fluid/rock interaction and constraints on fluid sources, as monitors of the length- and timescales of metamorphic equilibration, and in determining the extent of crustal recycling. In this session, we welcome contributions that provide experimental, geochronological, thermodynamic, trace element and isotopic constraints on the stability and growth histories of accessory minerals across a range of metamorphic grades and settings; their chemical and isotopic partitioning with the major metamorphic rock-forming minerals: and the extent to which this information is preserved through contrasting metamorphic P-T-t histories.
Keynote speakers: Emilie JANOTS (France) and Steve REDDY (Australia)
